    I have the same car with the problem. Lock and unlock car using your power lock on door. Do this 5 times continuously rapidly. Then start car. This works for me. If it doesn't start repeat process several times before you give up.

SOURCE: My 2006 Cadillac STS won

most of the time it occurs after replacing a battery but if this occurred out of the blue then something like the transponder has failed

you'll need a professional scan tool and about an hour to diagnose the concern

then when fixed, you'll need another 30 minutes to reprogram the computers and keys

Question? when it does disable it usually will say " starting disabled due to theft system remove key from ignition and wait 3 minutes'. Are you able to start car after the 3 minutes? or it wont period? My car does this alot to but I think its cause you have to unlock the car, get in it, shut the doors and then start the car because mine does it when i open the doors.

SOURCE: i keep getting the error of starter disabled due to theft system

It is probably your key. Your key has a resistor pellet and that might have worn down enough to change the resistance and cause your problem. There are 11 different key resistances for this car, when I ordered my extra keys. Hope this helps.

How do u disable a 94 cadillac deville anti theft system

U can bypass it (called the VATS system) but not fully disable it, what is done mimics the key code to fool the VATS module into sending a OK to start signal to the fuel injection computer (called the ECM). go to the web link below for instructions on the bypass.

1994 cadillace anti theft system

I just had this same problem with a '96 . do you have a vats key in your '94? you need to bypass the VATS system. read some of the blogs on this site and it will tell you how to do it. I fixed mine with a $2 resistor from radio shack.
